Indulge in the ultimate cozy treat with the perfect sipping chocolate! For a rich, velvety drink, use a 1:2:2 ratio of heavy cream, couverture chocolate, and whole milk. Add a pinch of sea salt or a dash of vanilla for extra flavor! Perfect for those chilly nights—serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Now that you know how to make your own hot cocoa mix from scratch, let’s move onto a real cup of hot chocolate! Simply put, hot chocolate is made by melting chocolate with cream (in our case we made a ganache), then adding hot milk to thin it down. No need to add more sugar or flavors unless you prefer them! It’s ready to drink as soon as you’ve mixed it all up. All the nitty gritty is on gygiblog.com 🫶

A quick way to jazz up your hot cocoa is to use a can of whipped cream to create mounds that you can freeze, then plop right into your piping hot cup as soon as it’s ready! The cream melts quickly and saves time when you’re ready to serve. We like to sprinkle crushed peppermint candy on top as well for easy serving and cleanup. Win-win!If you prefer homemade whipped cream like we do, we’ve got you covered with a can that creates whipped cream in no time at all! Available online and in stores while supplies last 😊

When temperatures drop and you’re craving someth

When temperatures drop and you’re craving something warm and cozy, nothing beats a steaming mug of homemade hot cocoa. And while pre-made cocoa mixes are convenient, making your own from scratch is a must-try this season. Control the ingredients, experiment with different flavors, and create the perfect cup of cocoa every time! Check out gygiblog.com for all the details!

We throw a few different names around willy-nilly

We throw a few different names around willy-nilly for these hot cups of chocolatey goodness…. But is there really a difference between Hot Cocoa, Hot Chocolate and Sipping/Drinking Chocolate?? We’re glad you asked 😉Hot COCOA is literally a hot chocolate drink made with cocoa powder instead of real chocolate. It’s the lightest of the three options and fully customizable, what with dozens of cocoa powders in existence, not to mention additional flavor additions.Hot CHOCOLATE, is literally real melted chocolate and milk. It’s thick, sweet, and so comforting.Thirdly, SIPPING or DRINKING chocolate is like hot chocolate but much more chocolate to cream ratio, leaving you with an ultra decadent, super rich, chocolate treat!Which is your favorite or is there one you have yet to try making at home?? We’ll be sharing our favorite recipes for each one!
